It was a real treat for us to be there and we could think of few places we'd rather be. We found it hard to believe that what we were looking at was man made. As we had a shorter and easier day's walk than day 1, we had time to linger in the sunshine. Wooly swears that Lake District grass tastes better than grass elsewhere, and, within the Lake District, Tarn Hows grass tastes best of all. We, therefore, left him getting his fill while we went off for something more to our taste - an ice cream from the van in the car park.
Our female minders spurned both grass and ice cream, and got out their exotically flavoured fruit lollies they had purchased in Coniston. Peace reigned as they were too busy licking to talk. We found it very amusing seeing their tongues turn the colour of their lollies, including stripes.
After stuffing himself with grass Wooly said he felt quite bloated. He didn't feel quite agile enough to leap over the next stile or two, so tried out the ground level animal passageway, although it took all 4 of us to lift the closing plank clear. Naturally, we were very careful not to decapitate Wooly!
The rest of the day's walk was very pleasant and we even had time for a pub stop in Elterwater. We arrived at our overnight accommodation feeling that we coul easily have walked a bit further. A bit different to yesterday!
Lots of love, Wooly, Yorkie, Dale, Isaiah & George xxx

Yes it was a day of R and R before the epic day 3. Funny how the fresh air makes everything taste better, not just the grass. The beer slipped down particularly well and it's very important to replace lost electrolytes - Dale
